Can anyone help? I got what seems to be a simple problem but I don't know enough to solve it and it's driving me CRAZY! I need to redirect all output sent to the PAR: device to another device. Is there something I can put in my startup sequence? Another angle: I thought I had my problem licked when I discovered the "CMD" command. But the D*%n thing quits once it's been used. After failing to work out how to stop CMD quitting or how to redirect input to the PAR: device, I tried one last thing; drinking heavily. It doesn't solve any problems but it does allow a grown man to cry unselfconsciously!! My liver and myself would be very greatful to anyone who can give me some help. Greg BTW, I'm using an A2000+'030 and WB 2.04.

Greg Your question is answered in the May issue of AmigaWorld. See the article on "Hidden AmigaDOS Gems" by Denny Atkin. The command to use is: RUN CMD PARALLEL RAM:PRINTOUT OPT m The 'm' must be lowercase. Jim
